mircea_popescu: lly resulting in something like a sugar cube ; hanbot's formal in form, which either through inhabituation or because poetry is an actual and legitimate artform (which seems rather dubious to be honest) is less grating than the other two.

BingoBoingo woke up today an undecided voter. It was weird. I had every intention of voting for my boy Gary Johnson, but on the drive to the polling place uncertainty hit me. And this the 124th ballot in the 5th precinct of Helvitia township in Madison County, Illinois was submitted for the TrumpenReich
PeterL: people keep telling me that a vote for Johnson is a vote for Trump (because it is somehow stealing a vote from Hillary, who we only want to vote for to stop the monster Trump), so I guess I voted for TrumpReich too
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Doing the math for myself and seeing how empty the box of registered voter cards was it appeared that in my jurisdiction voting Johnson would have been stealing from Trump to help Hillary. #MakeIllinoisASwingState
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dun worry about it, they'll fix it later if the counts don't come out right
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, they'll just have more undeaded ballots next door in St Clair County to balance it out.
mircea_popescu: PeterL those people read way too much myspace, which is how they ended up with the notion that hillary has a chance or something.
mircea_popescu: generally in bipartisan systems a vote downlist has principally the effect of hurting the favorite. that much is correct. nevertheless, the notion that hillary's a favourite is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: she lost fucking nh, she's going to carry california and thaqt's it. first presidential candidate with <10% of electoral votes in the history of that empire.
PeterL: Landon only got about 1% of electoral votes
mircea_popescu: PeterL ima cop out and say the empire only begins post ww2.
PeterL: Mondale only got 2.4 %
PeterL: or does he not count either?
mircea_popescu: ima man up and admit i have nfi what i'm talking about then!
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even knew someone actually ran against reagan 2.
PeterL: I have seen a bunch of memes popping up on arsebook praising Obummer for having "8 years with no scandals", they seem to forget that the scandals plaguing Hillary stem from her time as part of the Obummer administration
mircea_popescu: they also seem to forget the five or so times putin pulled his pants down and fucked him like a little bitch in front of intl orgs.
mircea_popescu: or the time his inept healthcare bill nearly sent the country into insolvency.
PeterL: but at least he hasn't had any sexual scandals come to light! (yet)
mircea_popescu: or the time he destroyed the last shreds of respectability for the supreme court, what with the tax that's not a tax.
BingoBoingo: Also Obola had scandals "Fast and Furious", "Malia Twerking", etc
PeterL: prog: puts hands over ears "la la la I can't hear you, you racist!"
mircea_popescu: right. there were no scandals because he's dumb and deaf.
PeterL: Obama remais a clean slate, everything just slides off him, and the progs still project all their pet policies onto him despite his actual actions to the contrary
mircea_popescu: iirc indiana and kentucky close at 6, so should be interesting
PeterL: right, those lean republican so they don't matter because they were already baked into the polls that they would swing trump
mircea_popescu: PeterL and the fundamental reason is that he's black and they're racist. in their minds, he's subhuman, and consequently incapable of action, intent, responsibility etc.
mircea_popescu: PeterL yeah, up until the vote turns out +20 trump rather than +4 as the polls showed.
PeterL: and the girls think he has a sexy speaking voice
mircea_popescu: the girls just think he's a tall black man with a small dick.
mircea_popescu: so a) all their friends will think they're fucking a submarine AND b) they won't actually get torn cunts.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: curious, if you're referring to obamacare re. healthcare bill, what did you mean re insolvency? or was that more in jest? ACA reduced budget deficit; but my knowledge is very superficial, so..
Framedragger: not particularly. states were able to opt out of ACA which was not in the original plan; but the shutdown?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: oh, that. budget not getting approved, you mean
mircea_popescu: no, i mean obama fucking up with his healthcare bill and nearly sending the country into insolvency thereby.
Framedragger: but i thought it was just a negotiating tactic by the republicans - had happened before
mircea_popescu: unless you want to put it on the same sex marriage idiocy, but this is bestowing unwarranted importance on the faggot party.
mircea_popescu: lol. and what else, putin just didn't understand how the world works ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, they all AGREE today that he fucked it up. and it "needs to be fixed".
Framedragger: (re. putin, can't see how one could disagree there)
mircea_popescu: somehow they ALSO all omit to point out that a) they were wrong and b) the others were right ; or propose any sort of penitence, such as you know, hanging themselves.

PeterL: the year obamacare came into effect my health insurance cost went up 300%, with the same coverage
mircea_popescu: basically the whole thing was about govt corps needing a new prop for their feltering bezzle fortune. and he acquiesced. and the idiots think he's a democrat.
mircea_popescu: the result of letting the kids on reddit instead of keeping them chained to a pole half the day with water and quarterly whippings.
PeterL: and reports are that it will go up ~25% this year, I think that may have been one of the things tipping the polls away from clinton at the last moment
mircea_popescu: last moment my foot she's been bleeding votes over it all summer.
BingoBoingo: PeterL: 25% is the least it is going up depending on your ZIP code
mircea_popescu: the idiots may think that unreported crime/fires/rapes/whatever never happened, but it's not how it works.
PeterL: well, there was a visible change in the reported polls over the last couple weeks, that is what I am referring to
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they raped him more last time because "not in electorally sensitive locale". the people who got it easy then for that reason are getting shafted now
mircea_popescu: it all balances out, so that the usg can pretend it has a gdp and the oligarchy can pretend it's in business.
mircea_popescu: the business of squandering the tax receipts, but w/e.
PeterL: basic economics: if they wanted prices to go down they should have increased supply (hire more doctors), instead they increased demand (forced everybody to buy the "insurance")
PeterL: suprise suprise, the cost went up
mircea_popescu: they can't hire more doctors, because they're already hiring all the doctors that exist.
trinque: speaking of the motherfucking health care, my premium for the shittiest plan that's available just went up by 32%
PeterL: they could pay to put more people through doctor school, or something
mircea_popescu: the only way out is to separate medical care from social security ; and to shoot anyone found to have engaged in fraud for the past decade.
trinque: but it is not a tax y'see!
mircea_popescu: PeterL right, because if i put more people through the clothes shredder i'll get more supermodels right ?
trinque: because they launder it through an "insurance company"
PeterL: there is also the stupid US practice of tying health insurance to your employment, instead of having an open market
PeterL: I don't expect car insurance to be covered by my employer, why is health insurance different?
trinque: has nothing to do with health
PeterL: I thought that was one of the things obummercare was supposed to fix, but it seems the only options offered are hyperexpensive
mircea_popescu: the us health care problem has only one solution, and it's compressive not expansive. a) shoot all the malades imaginaires (such as, fine example,
https://archive.is/yyQny). these literally have to be shot, no possible two ways about it ; b) make it impossible for doctors to give the patient benefits. no days off from work ; no financial payments dependent on what doctor says on paper. nothing. no more painkillers of any kind
mircea_popescu: once that's done, 98 to 99.9% of all "costs" suddenly vanish, and suddenly you get a sane health system.
mircea_popescu: make it illegal to medicalize convenience, of all kinds. i get it that it'd be convenient for the politicians if the doctors distributed social payola to the poor under the pretense of "health". dun work that way regardless.
